Growth-Associated Reorganization of Gill and Skin-Mucus Microbiota in Cultured Decapterus maruadsi: Contrasting Occurrence–Abundance Patterns

External mucosal microbiota form important interfaces between fish and the aquatic environment, yet their variation during host growth remains poorly understood. We characterized the gill and skin-mucus microbiota of cultured Decapterus maruadsi across three successive body-size stages (4.98–6.81 g, 16.67–19.63 g, and...
